5 Ways to Enjoy Your Summer in Sioux Falls

Summer is a busy time of year. Between family vacations, heading to the lake, and various other summer activities, it’s easy to forget to actually take the time to enjoy yourself. Truly relaxing and soaking in the experiences will help you become happier and healthier. Snow and cold will be back before we know it, so here are some tips and tricks that you can use to get the most out of your Summer.

Spend Time Outdoors

Have you ever been to Palisades State Park in Garretson, SD and experienced the tranquil hiking paths along Splitrock Creek? Have you ever been to Good Earth State Park just East of Sioux Falls and watched the peaceful waters of the Big Sioux from one of many lookout decks? There are so many places within a short drive of Sioux Falls that you can go to enjoy the outdoors and the beauty of our great state. Visit the Game, Fish & Parks site or the Sioux Falls Parks & Recreation site to find other great parks to enjoy. Go fishing, play a game of pickleball, or sit on the beach. Just be sure to bring your sunscreen and bug spray!

Designate “Unplugged” Time

In this day and age, our phones and computers seem to be permanently stuck in our hands. They’re required for work, connecting with friends and family, shopping, and so much more. To truly relax and enjoy this summer, try designating an hour each day for “unplugged” time. Pick up that book you’ve been dying to read or go on a walk and say hi to your neighbors. You may just be surprised how enjoyable and refreshing time without technology can truly be!

Spend time with family and friends

Meet up with your family and friends this summer to have fun and unwind. You and a friend could enjoy a beverage and a laugh at one of Sioux Falls’ many outdoor patios. Invite your family over for a backyard BBQ and enjoy some friendly competition over a game of bean-bags. Summer time activities are so much better when you enjoy them with the people you love.

Start a new and exciting fitness routine

Have you been wanting to try out that new kickboxing studio down the street or the cool barre class that your coworkers have been raving about? Have you always meant to take a lap around the city’s bike path? Summer is the perfect time to do it! Many gyms offer free trial classes so you can go and try new workouts without breaking the bank. Did you know that there are also tons of free yoga classes throughout the summer in Sioux Falls? Just do a quick Facebook Event search to find one near you. You’re going to feel great, meet new people, and enjoy yourself while doing it!

Spend Time on yourself

With all of the hustle and bustle of this time of year, it’s beneficial to have some “me time”. Simply waking up 10 minutes earlier than normal to sip coffee on your patio in silence can make a huge impact on your day. Waking up early not your thing? That’s okay! Choose any way to spend 10-15 minutes on yourself and you’ll reap the benefits!
